at those schools as well as several other universities and colleges including University of Rochester, Dalhousie University, and McGill University. In Spring 2010, SMH developed a class for sex workers with mental illness through their partnership with Prostitution Alternatives Counselling & Education (PACE) Society in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. SMH also piloted a lecture/workshop as part of the UBC Faculty of Medicine's 2nd year curriculum (in collaboration with the Island Medical Program - University of Victoria and the Northern Medical Program at UNBC). SMH hopes to introduce a pre-release program into William Head Institution on Vancouver Island for Corrections Canada. This program will help offenders rebuild self-esteem and gain life-coping skills as they reintegrate into the community. Early in 2010, SMH received a $50 000 sponsorship from Canada Post who called it a "successful laughter-therapy program". The organisation is a registered society in the province of British Columbia.
